Wonderful sketch today! And I couldn't resist the OCC Challenge to use our favorite colors. These are my favorite colors. Greens, teals. This also goes along w/ the DD green challenges this month.
I just rec'd these wonderful images today from Betsy at Innovative Stamp Creations. Aren't they wonderful? And there are more! These are from Nature's Silhouettes I & II.
I stamped the the images w/ white pigment ink and embossed w/ white ep on white c/s. I did the out of the box Nestie tech (Tutorial HERE). Then I brayered over w/ the kpad. Since it had already been dry embossed around the edge w/ the Nestie, the brayer skipped right over the embossed line and left the white border just like I hoped it would.
The monogram greeting was stamped w/ a circle around it then I used the Nestie circles on it and the layers. The butterfly was cut out and popped up.
I used a border punch down both sides of the vertical lime panel and attached 3 strips of ribbon on top. Then layered on white and teal. Everything's attached to a white card.
Thanks so much for looking!

Pam124 told me about your gallery and man she is right - you make BEAUTIFUL cards! I think I could leave a comment on every one of your cards. They are LOVELY - so much detail! I love the embossing and the colors on this - so vibrant and alive.
Pam also told me about you helping her with "staging" her photos of her cards. I'd love any tips or info you can give me (please pm). Your staging of your photos is LOVELY!
